Threadkeeper reads directly from your local Messages database. No servers, no cloud, no accounts required.
Works with no internet connection. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
Built in Swift. Reads the SQLite database directly. Fast and lightweight.
Opens on Android, Windows, any device. No Apple software required to read it.
When you switch to Android, change your Apple ID, or lose access to your Mac, your iMessage history goes with it. There's no official export. Threadkeeper fixes that.
Once you've moved to Android or reset your Apple ID, the messages are gone. Threadkeeper reads from your Mac's Messages database — you need to export before you make the switch.
Pick the contacts whose conversations you want to save. See message counts and date ranges at a glance.
Select a date range, whether to include photos, and how you want the PDF formatted.
A complete, permanent record of your conversation — readable on any device, forever.
Download Threadkeeper for Mac and preserve them forever.
